Again, another Victoria Holt book that I just loved !!! I don't know how she comes up with so many ideas and so many different places around the world. I can not think of any of her books I did not like.
This is a romantic mystery involving a treasure hunt. Like many of Victoria Holt's books, the beginning and end are an exciting flurry, while the middle is somewhat slow, filled with the heroine's romantic notions/emotions. An enjoyable read but not one of Holt's more memorable.
